Eager doesn't quite describe it. He's itching for it, aching for it, wanting so bad. He wants to be in one piece again, as much as he can be. He's been drowning for a year and breath is nearly there, just in reach.
That he needs to see her safe only adds to it.
He watches her, and she's trying to let him down easy, he knows, but there ain't no easy means for coming down here. Wherever she goes, he's going with her, but he stares at her wide eyed like he's made some desperate plea and it's down to her to give it.
He's been desperate for so long, he's forgotten what it was to get what he's looking for. He laughs his relief. "Yes!" He bursts out, face alight.He moves fast, pulling her along by her wrist.
